Not drinking or eating!!

Chaco Golden Knee

This is my baby Count/Countess Chacola - it’s my 2nd T so I’m still pretty new in the world of keeping…
They haven’t eaten in over 2 months and the abdomen has been getting progressively smaller..
I provide a water dish always and I’ve tried water on a cotton swab with no luck. I’ve been trying to feed them once a week and they haven’t zero interest… what can I do to help my baby? 😭

Tiny incision opening?

I am 13dpo from a TT+MR. After my shower today, my central steri-strips came off and it looks like I may have an opening forming in my incision 🙃 or am I just going crazy?

I did have 2 c-sections (2018 & 2024) and I know that can increase your chances of this occurring. This possible opening is smaller than a marble.

I did send a message to my surgeon an hour ago and I’m going to follow up in the morning. I understand most cases result in just allowing the wound to heal itself. Any advise or personal experience?? 🥲 I’m about to cry over this y’all I’m not built for this kind of insanity 😂

Struggling to trust the process

I’m 13 DPO, TT+MR. I opted out of lipo because my TT+MR was getting covered by insurance, and I figured I can always go back to try lipo at another point in time.

I keep seeing others with completely flat incisions and no bulging even at comparable post-op times as myself. I know every body is different, but my brain is still being annoying. I’d love any advice or those with a similar experience… something to help my brain realize “your body is not what you see it as” 😭 it’s mostly the lopsided look for me … 🙃

Also! Any favorite Fajas?! I don’t have one yet - I’ve been using my binder and medium compression shapewear up to this point to get by! I have an M&D ab board from Amazon as well!

Favorite Feeders?

What are your favorite places to source smaller crickets and dubia roaches?

I have a dubia roach colony I’m working on developing but while I get them breeding, I wasn’t sure what online sources everyone enjoys using. I got my roaches from a reptile expo so I have yet to shop online for them! Thanks in advance everyone 🥰🖤

Help the newbiieee

I was on my first exploration ever, in a creek in Shippensburg, PA, and found this curious piece in the lake. I’ve been working on brushing the mud away but it looks to be tumbled onto whatever is at the center?

I haven’t done much identification by myself so I’d love some help! I don’t have my items to test the Mohs hardness yet so I don’t have any of that information 😭 thanks in advance!

I’m curious what water everyone uses! Distilled, Reverse osmosis, or deionized? I’d love to look into getting something for at home to make water for all my babies, but I’m not sure what to get 🤔

I’m a parent of geckos, a Pac-Man frogs, tarantulas, isopods, dubia roaches, and mealworms! I have a water distiller for my husband’s CPAP but I was seeing it’s probably not the best to use for a few reasons. What do you guys have at home??!
